"A morning suit is the traditional British style of wedding dress for men, but if you can't afford one or don't have one available to you, then a nice dark suit is appropriate as it will help you blend in.

"Garish patterns are inappropriate, as are jeans and a shirt."

Should you bring a gift to the church?

"It's not appropriate to take a wedding gift to the church with you, it's not really even appropriate to take one to the reception," reveals Philip.

"The Best Man sometimes will treat the wedding a bit like a 21st birthday party, you have to be careful what you include in the speech - for example, it's not appropriate to mention the groom's ex girlfriends."

Guests also shouldn't assume they can help themselves to left overs at the end of the night.

"Unless offered don't assume you can take things, such a wine, or flower arrangements from your table, that's very bad etiquette."

And what about after the wedding?
